Queen Victoria Not Popular.

The queen is not popular. Very few
people know anything about her. / do
not believe that Is per cent. of the people
of London have ever seen her. She lives
such aretired life that she is rarely taken
into consideration in connection with
public questions. She appears to have
very little sympathy with English people
and to be as foreign at heart as if she
had always lived on the continent. This
is shown whenever she goes over to the
continent for a change. She is quite an
other person when she is over there.
The French people are delighted with
her and the French papers are filled with
glowing accounts of her popularity at
Aix-les-Bains. When she is on the con-
tinent she goes out and mixes with people
and SHOWS herself everywhere on all pub.
lie occasions. But in England she shuts
herself up like recluse and only with
great difficulty can be persuaded to spend
two or three weeks in London during the
year.-London Cor. New York World.

1t S peculiar thing that there arc so
few fat villains in history or romance.
Now, | can't remember one except Fosco.
IN the Woman in White People take
their ideas of character from the physiog-
nomy and physique of certain characters.
historical or imaginary, and as Shake
speare pictures jovial Jack Falstaff as fat.
SO every fat man is preiudged as good
natured, rollicking blade, with no guile
in him. All villains I've seen on the
stage have been thin. but I aver that a
man may be fat and he a villain. All
stage lawyers are generally represented
as lean, clammy and cadaverous, vet only
the poor lawyers are thus. ANY man
who walks with an erect carriage and
expanded chest is put down at sight by
the general run of people as proud and
egotistic, but there's just as much ego
tism in little, dumpy men. Iknow poets
who don't wear long hair, and preachers
who don't wear long faces People have
formed their ideals of certain phases of
character and appearance from early i'm
pressions of individuals who had, or were
supposed to have, the character, and they
never changed it. | insist that all CON
spirators are not lean, like Guy Fawkes.
and that the public should be warned not
to put too much faith in these old beliefs.
as fat conspirators are dangerous from
the very freedom from suspicion which
they en- iOy. -Globe-Democrat.

Some of the islands are absolutely un-
explorable, because of the inconceivable
number and variety of the serpents that
lnfest them. No wonder those early
Indians considered skirt of woven snakes
the most appropriate garment for the
Goddess of the Earth. Centuries before
the coming of the Aztecs the poetical peo-
pie who inhabited these western shores.
contemplating the azure Pacific, named
the Goddess of Water Chalchiuhtlicue-
''she of the skirts of blue;" and no less
appropriately the tribes of this section
called the earth's goddess Chihuacoatl-
''she of the skirt of snakes.'' Other
tribes called her Coatlicue-'.the woman
serpent''-the Aztec Eve, whose head is
serpent's, with the breast and limbs of
woman, and whose gown is web of
snakes adorned with tassels and feathers.
In attempting to explore some of the
islands of Lake Chapala it seemed as if
the earth literally wore .'skirt of SER
pents. The ground swarmed with them,
swaying and writhing from every bush,
kissing and squirming on every fallen
tree, and ripping the water in all direc-
tions. 1t was a question as to viii III were
more numerous, the birds above or snakes
below. They tell us that as soon as the
spring birds reappear there is great gath
ering of snakes below and hawks above.
The latter literally cover the trees, and
whenever hunger dictates they make a
dash at the tired little creatures who
have settled upon the islands after their
annual return from some unknown re-
gion. If bird escape the hawks and
seek to refresh himself with drink, in
the twinkling of an eye he is swallowed
by one of the greedy serpents that lie in
wait for him at the waters edge.-Cor.

NIeuagerie Animals insane.

y Brooklyn physician tells me that all
the animals in Barnums menagerie. and
in every other menagerie for that matter,
are insane. Not bowling, roaring, biting
mad, but simply off their mental bases.
He says that no animal accustomed to the
free range of woods and hills can be
cooped up in cage for more than two or
three months without going to pieces in
tellectually, and maundering around his
cage in an aimless manner, paying little
attention to anything but his feed. For
snakes, croccodiles and that sort of cold
blooded creatures, confinement is not irk-
some; they obtain their provender with
out hrlstling for it, and that suits them
to dot. Some kinds of birds, too, find
imprisonment natural condition, for
they and their ancestors for many gener-
ations were born i'll cages and never knew
liberty. But with strong and active ami
mails the case is different The lion. the
tiger, the wolf, fox and bear do not en-
dure transplanting from their native des-
erts, plains and jungles. Imprisonment
in little cages is to them the direst cruelty.
How would man feel if he had to live
in one:-'' Rambler" in Brooklyn Eagle.

CounterfeitinC Old cremopa,.

To such great extent is counterfeitine
and exporting carried on that fully half
the so-called Cremonas are spurious, being
inferior instruments, doctored and altered.
There was one expert in New York who
had number Of tickets printed on dingy
paper with the names of prominent max,

ments and sold with a guarantee.
They say that violinist can detect a
rare instrument by its tone, which can
not be initiated. The appearance can be
initiated, but not the tone. it has often
been declared. There is even a way of
deceiving the ear by thinning the wood
of the breast underneath the bridge. The
purchaser looks only at the thickness of
the wood, indicated by the f. f. holes,
and the tones being responsive will lead
him to believe the violin an old and rare
instrument. But it will deteriorate with
time.-St. Louis Republican.

Monkeys as Track Iu,nec.or..

Near place called Niddiyunda there Is
large tope which is well known to be
infested with a host of monkeys. Having
no other mode of occupying their dull
hours, they are bent upon trying to de-
stroy the railroad track on the Tanlbtn
line. 1t would appear that these animals.
about fifty or sixty, form themselves into
two companies; they range Themselves
Systematically, one-half on one rail and
the other half on the other. They begin
by first removing the earth from the
sides of the rails. Then they arrive al
the difficulty of nuts and bolts, which.
though they examine them very minutelv,
they cannot get over. On the approach
of the up or down train, they will wait
till the engine is within a few yards.
when, with the utmost coolness, they
simply jump on one side till the train has
passed, and then resume their work.
A remarkable instance occurred on one
of these occasions. As an engine was ap-
preaching, the monkeys made their usual
jumps, with the exception of one, who
persisted in remaining on the line, the
engine by this time being very near. Five
or six monkeys, seeing the danger one of
their number was in, made sudden rush
and dragged him off, some laying hold of
him by the tail. others by the legs; they
saved him. They are now styled the
Niddivunda gangmen by the guards and
drivers. The Christian at Work.

How Bodies of the Dead Are Preserved
Tor Future Ceueratfou4

How Bodies of the Dead Are Preserved
FOR Future Generations.
SAID a reporter to prominent under
taker the other day; Il suppose this
warm weather will cause you to get out
your refrigerators:'
''Well, it would few years ago, but
now, You know, we never use ice for pre-
serving body except in a few cases
where the friends or relatives object to
our embalming it.
THAT is more expensive, though, is. it
not.''
"Oh, no; the cost is about the same
and the trouble is much less. Now, you
see, In using ice we have big box to
carry around, and where we have three
or four cases at the same time we would
be Obliged TO have several coolers, but by
the new way of preserving here is all we
have to carry, and he laid his hand on
what looked like sample case. such as
is ordinarily canied by liquor salesman.
On opening the case it bore a striking
resemblance TO surgeons case, except
that on one side there were three Quart
bottles filled with milky looking fluids.
The instruments consisted of a small
knife, lancet such as is used by physi-
clans in tapping, and syringe with
great variety of nozzles. ssThis, said the
undertaken, picking up the syringe, sis
the principal thing used, and the nozzles
are used in just as many ways as there
are nozZles. Now we use this nozzle when
we do not intend to do regular Job of
embalming, but simply to preserve the
body day or two, and it is used for
injecting the fluid into the stomach. This
is for hypodermic injection, this for a
vein, this for an artery and this is used
for what we call initiating That is, if the
person has been sick long time and is
very thin in the face, we insert this in
the face under the ear and force certain
fluid into the face to give it a round ap-
pearance.
'Then understand that it is not neces-
sary TO fill the veins and arteries in order
to preserve body for few days.
Not by any means. OF course it de-
perds very much on the condition of the
body when given into our hands. but or
dinarily we inject into the stomach and
intestines and into the head through the
nose and ears. In thorough Job. where
the body has to I've kept a number of days
in warm weather, we fill the arteries. and
IN case of the sudden death of vigorous
person We usually have to draw out the
blood first. This we are obliged to do
while the body is warm, but we do not
inject the embalming fluid till the animal
warmth has left the body
''How long will body retain its natural
appearance that has been thoroughly
treated?'
Il can hardly say, All the way from
one year TO ten or even more, and 1 ex-
pect if | embalmed body just to see
how long could keep it, it would keep
till it was destroyed by outside agencies
| have removed bodies that have been
buried three or four years that were per-

These are very numerous. Some per-

Then. again, it is said if the points of the
new moon are upward there will be dry
weather: while others take the opposite
view and say if they point sideways it
will be dry. But leaving all these and
many others like them, there are few
proverbs about the moon which may be
worth noting and testing. We give some
of these:
When the moon is visible in the day
time the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that when
the moon is near the full it never storms,
and the sailors say the full moon eats
clouds.
If the fuai moon rises clear expect fne

rain may be Expected.
When the moon is darkest near tie
horizon expect rain.
If the full moon rise pale expect

A red moon indicates wind.

There is the highest medical authority
for the statement that there is nothing
better than common salt for any ordinary
inflammation of the throat, mouth, OF
nasal passages. Dissolve dessert spoon
full in coffee cup, and gargle the solu-
ton, or snuff it up the nose until it comes
out into the backmouth. Repeat two or
three times day until cured.
DIR. Thackeray, of Philadelphia, has
found that salt is effective in the most
violent attacks of erysipelas, and, more
over, leaves no unsightly scars behind.
He uses saturated solution-that is as
strong as it can be made-and simply
keeps the parts covered with cloth wet
it. At the same he cools the system with
dose of EPSON salts, mixed with lemon
juice, and orders light farinaceous diet.
